Question 1

Can you add frozen blueberries to a cake mix?

Accepted Answer

Not everyone has access to fresh blueberries no matter what time of year it is. Some areas just do not have that sort of thing. So, you can definitely use frozen blueberries in any dish. And using cake mix in a box will certainly save you a lot of time and work.  Just buy a lemon cake mix and make it as directed, adding the frozen berries to the mix after everything else. Make sure they are still frozen when you add them, or they may get mushy and turn the batter blue.

Question 2

What happens if I add an extra egg to my cake?

Accepted Answer

Adding two extra egg yolks to your cake recipes will give them that extra moistness that many mixes seem to lack. The yolks make it denser, so it holds more moisture and tastes like a bakery cake. All you have to do is add the regular number of eggs that the recipe calls for and add two extra egg yolks.

Question 3

What is the secret to moist cake?

Accepted Answer

Besides adding egg yolks, there are other secrets to guarantee a moist cake. First, mix the butter into the flour before you add any of the wet ingredients. As a result, this coats the flour in fat to reduce gluten. Also, use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour.  Another tip is to brush the top and sides of each layer with syrup to keep the moisture locked in. And make sure you measure all the ingredients carefully. You would be surprised what a little bit of a measuring error can do to the moisture level.  Another tip is to sift the flour, this will result in fluffier layers, therefore they absorb the frosting easier, resulting in a moist and tender dessert.
